There is no shortage of inspiration and innovation in the electronics industry, a fact that will no doubt be apparent at the upcoming IPC APEX EXPO in San Diego. The expo runs from February 27 to March 1, 2018, and invites electronics professionals to “succeed at the velocity of technology”, an apt theme for such a rapidly evolving field.

From Industry 4.0 to wearables, the event will cover hot topics, dive into the latest research and provide educational offerings driven by real-world applications.

Following the success of the 25th annual Wire Harness Conference, the Wiring Harness Manufacturers Association’s (WHMA) team, including chairman and ALTEX President Rick Bromm, will host a booth at this year’s APEX.

IPC APEX EXPO offers a chance for organizations to discover new ways to solve complex challenges, exchange ideas with industry leaders, and build business connections.
